The TAM receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs)-TYRO3, AXL, and MERTK-together with
their cognate agonists GAS6 and PROS1 play an essential role in the resolution of
inflammation. Deficiencies in TAM signaling have been associated with chronic
inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Three processes regulated by TAM signaling
may contribute, either independently or collectively, to immune homeostasis: the
negative regulation of the innate immune response, the phagocytosis of apoptotic
cells, and the restoration of vascular integrity. Recent studies have also
revealed the function of TAMs in infectious diseases and cancer. Here, we review
the important milestones in the discovery of these RTKs and their ligands and the
studies that underscore the functional importance of this signaling pathway in
physiological immune settings and disease.
